Kernel IP routing table

Destination        Gateway        Genmask         Flags    metric    ref
use    iface
127.0.0.0        0.0.0.0            255.0.0.0        U        0
0        0         lo


I am pretty sure there should be something else in there, but I am not sure
what.

Would I need a new destination?   If so, is it my ISP? 207.217.126.81 or one
of the
others.... Would it be my router? 192.168.1.1?

I think I would need a Gateway, Genmask, Flags, metric, ref, use, and an
iface,
also, right?

These come from the macintosh TCP/IP control panel which also contains the
address of the mac, itself....... 192.168.1.2
